@mikeycolon, I hear you on the fresh vs. salt water. The ocean are still fairly wild while most fresh water shows signs of domestication. The salt is such a purifying agent and always seems to be fresher... That said we live in MO which is quite a ways from the ocean so we work with what we got.

On the lion fish topic, I can totally see the merit in hunting them, There's a great podcast which has numerous episodes surrounding eating invasives and specifically focused on eating invasives which you may find interesting. I would highly recommend you to check it out as it has been very impactful in my understanding of where ecology and meeting human needs intersect.
